Leguminous substances, and more particularly mineral salts, are detected by the examination of the ash left upon the incineration of the flour.
When this is not the case and completeincineration and disaggregation have occurred, recourse must be had to the indications furnished by a chemical analysis.
By the incineration of the plants this salt was rendered slightly caustic; and it then became moist in the air, and deliquesced when not preserved in very close vessels.
In one hundred and forty-five megalithic monuments supposed to date from the Neolithic period, seventy-two give proof of incineration and twenty of inhumation only.
At the same period the two rites appear to have been practised simultaneously in Armorica, but there incineration was the dominant custom.
The Pelasgians and the Proto-Etruscans burned their dead,[305] and we are told of the incineration of contemporaries of Jair, the third judge of Israel.
The celebrated excavations of Moreau prove that inhumation and incineration were both practised among the Gallo-Romans established in the eastern provinces of France.
Similar facts are noticed in Germany, but in the North incineration predominates, while in the West it is inhumation.
It is strange indeed to find that incineration was practised from Neolithic times in the wild mountains of Lozere.
If present, the yellow residue thus obtained assumes a pumpkin hue on the addition of potash, and leaves on incineration a dark greasy stain.
The incineration usually takes place in a palm grove.
The Scythians were the progenitors of the Thracians, and we read that these latter observed incineration from the earliest date.
On this occasion better arrangements were made for carrying out the principle of the Bunsen burner, with the result of producing the complete incineration of a dog weighing forty-two and three-quarter pounds in the space of a couple of hours.
In America the same active propaganda is going on in favour of incineration of the dead, and the New York Incremation Society have applied to the Legislature of that State for an act of incorporation.
Not Joseph's great proportion of gums and spices, that might have preserved his body from corruption and incineration longer than he needed it, longer than three days, but it would not have done it for ever.
But in this death ofincineration and dispersion of dust, we see nothing that we call that man's.
It is true that this was a most powerful embalming, to be embalmed with the Divine Nature itself, to be embalmed with eternity, was able to preserve him from corruption and incineration for ever.
On the other hand, when incinerationbegins to appear in this place, the human remains still left to us are of a mixed and far more broad-headed type.
And here also isincineration just about frequent enough to make it uncertain whether the human remains are typical or not.
It has become almost an axiom among archaeologists that bronze culture andincineration are constant companions.
And yet over here in Italy the new culture of bronze and of incineration seems to be borne by a broad-headed people of the same type as the modern one.
The more succulent the plant, the more does it afford; for it is only in the juices that the vegetable salts reside, which are converted by incineration into alkaline matter.
A large amount of phosphates of calcium and magnesium was found in the ash remaining after the incineration of the solid matter.
In practice, however, the use of a naked fire is perfectly inadmissible, as the least neglect on the part of the operator would probably lead to the incineration of the whole.
The incineration is managed at a comparatively low temperature, and takes some four or five hours; the platinum dish being heated by means of a large Bunsen burner, abundantly supplied with air.
Even where paper has been so completely charred that no signs of writing remain visible, it is frequently possible to render the characters visible once more by continuing the incineration until only a white structure of ash remains.
In the case of inks that do not contain iron, or when the writing was in carbon or aniline typing ink, this method of incineration will prove unsuccessful.
Any shrinkage or distortion of the letters in the writing caused by the contraction of the ash of the paper during the incineration is obviated or minimised by burning the carbonised paper very slowly.
If only he could fall forward, grasp that incineration tube, turn it on Barter!
If only he could move forward and grasp the incineration tube, he would turn it on Naka Machi and Barter.
He stepped back and caught up the incinerationtube of concentrated fire .
Naka Machi placed the eighth man in the furnace, returned the incineration tube to the table.
If he lost in arithmetical progression as he had during the last five, Bentley estimated that he, Bentley, would be able to move his arms enough to grasp the incineration tube by the time Barter had finished his eighth transplantation.
Barter took the "incineration tube" and directed it on the skin.
Bentley's heart leaped as Naka Machi placed theincineration tube on the operating table.
But their custom of incineration is certainly suggestive, and it is not at all impossible that they spoke a Celtic dialect.
The custom of incineration gains ground in Europe until in the Bronze Age it is the rule and inhumation the exception.
They seem to have come from the Rhine valley, and may well have introduced incineration into Brittany, where it appears early.
Wherever such monuments occur we find incineration coming in late in Neolithic time, or more exactly with the Bronze period, except in Brittany and England, of which later.
But incinerationseems to accompany the progress of the European branch, and must have come into use among these peoples well back in their history to explain its wide occurrence.
They burned their dead, and Meyer thinks that incineration spread northward and westward from this centre.
Advantage is taken of this fact to carry out a process of incineration on a large scale, so that heat derived from the burning off of the resinous mass is utilised for evaporation of weaker liquors.
In most cases the actual incineration of the thick liquor is carried out in a rotary furnace when such an apparatus as this is used.
The liquors may be evaporated to a small bulk ready for incineration by treatment in long shallow pans or furnaces, the heat necessary for the process being obtained mainly from the combustion of the thick concentrated liquor.
The liquor from the recovered soda should be bright and clear, indicating complete incineration of the ash.
